Every penny from the people
Slow and steady, so much time
Somebody to love
What did they see?
Buy another lullaby
Somewhere to live
Keeps the wolf outside the door
He guarantees you instant glory
Take the money, get out quick
That's what I need
Somewhere to pray
There's a miracle on the screen
Jack is nimble, Jack is quick
Back again on the round about
Who's the one who pays the most
To commit another TV crime, TV crime
Somebody to love
What do they need?
Another miracle on the screen
One night in the life of the lonely
What did they see?
Rock the cradle when you cry
Take a look inside the store
Scream another lullaby
Gotta buy him a limousine
Yeah, one night in the life of the lonely
What do they need?
Somebody to love again
A supermarket of salvation
Holy father, holy ghost
But he gives more
But he'll give you more, yeah
Somebody to love
Holy father, holy ghost
Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself
We just won't eat on Sunday
Slow and steady, he's got time
Get your money on the line
Pick your pocket, turn a trick
Gotta send me a plastic Jesus
Rock the cradle, don't you cry
Who's the one who hurts you most
One day in the life of the lonely
Somebody to love
Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself
There's a check in the mail today
Jack be nimble, Jack be slick
